Patriotic Recipes and Party Ideas

Do you need patriotic recipes and party ideas for your upcoming 4th of July party? I think you’ll find this week’s features are the red, white, and blue essentials that you need for a perfect party!

Whether you live in a region that’s known for “It’s a dry heat” or “I’m sweatin’ like a pig,” you’ll be throwing a patriotic party for the 4th of July where you’ll need the basic essentials to create a successful and fun party.

I consider party essentials to be ones such as pretty centerpieces placed on tables, containers to place your cutlery and straws inside, a classic layered dessert, an Americana-themed charcuterie board, and the list goes on and on.

This post was originally part of the Home Matters Link Party. At the end of my post, you’ll find over 100 links from bloggers sharing a variety of crafts, decor, and recipes. You’ll get lots of inspiration!

BASIC ESSENTIALS FOR A 4TH OF JULY PARTY

Patriotic recipes and party ideas. 2 ideas to make for decor and a berry dessert and charcuterie tray.

FEATURED PATRIOTIC RECIPES AND PARTY IDEAS

Every patriotic party needs a festive centerpiece for decoration, don’t you agree? Emily, from Hunny I’m Home DIY, shows us how to make one that not only looks spectacular, but is easy to make and is budget-friendly.

Start saving those tin cans because as pretty as these are you’ll want to make more than one centerpiece!

It wouldn’t be a party without a classic style recipe used at almost every gathering or potluck! Tracey, from The Kitchen is My Playground, has the best and yummiest kind of layered dessert recipe ~ triple berry punch bowl cake. A no-bake recipe that’s easy to make, yes please!

Michelle, from The Wooden Spoon Effect, show us a wonderful presentation of her easy recipe for a patriotic charcuterie board. This is such a clever idea to use food in the form of the American flag.

Head over to her blog to see her alternative white foods for the cheese. I’m liking one of them and it begins with chocolate… oops “C.”
